— Ace Over extra-marital affair?
I'm getting this second hand from people who saw it on TV.
Shit Just Got, Um, Weird [DrewM.]: Petraeus' affair was with a staffer for....Elizabeth Warren?
Or not. It was way too good to check or be true.

What a turd he turned out to be.
Can you believe as recently as a couple of years ago, people were touting him to run for the Republican presidential nomination?

Seriously, though...I'm 100% sure this cake was baked before the election, and that it'd probably even leaked to a few media types, and it was solidly embargoed.
I'm inclined to agree with - was it Jennifer Rubin? The Sheldon Adelsons and the like need to stop putting money in Rove's PAC. They need to form a private-equity fund with the explicit intent of remaking the media landscape in this country.

You'd think the CIA director would exercise a bit more caution, and also have the ability to make the MSM shut up.

If it's that's true he would be trying to 'cover' the affair with the real story on Benghazi. So, he's paid to go retire in anonymity with his pension, a fat paycheck from Soros and Co. and he and his wife know the 'truth' so his wife sticks by him. The next four years are going to suck, the dems shouldn't try to hide what their doing because it doesn't matter anyway.

When the boss leaves town, the really important resignation letters get issued. Really juicy rumors get started, and the boss is powerless to do anything when he gets back to town.

So?....democrats don't care about affairs. We don't either, because it isn't an elected position.
Therefore, I'm with you guys, its Benghazi...but now that he's out, he should go ahead and tell what happened there.
PS - all the people that were saying "no don't burn it down", well the other side is playing for keeps.

Maybe he is just an honerable guy who had an affair, realized that could be compromising for someone in his position, and just didn't want to announce it before the presidential election because he didn't want that to have any impact.

Let the f*cking world burn.
The men and women of the U.S. military were disenfranchised by the democrats and we need to bring em all home.
The U.S. needs a strong military that focuses solely on defense right now. Nothing else. No more borrowing money to base our military in f*cking Germany 60 plus f*cking years after the end of WWII. No more borrowing money to base our military in South Korea 50 plus year after the Korean war.... etc. etc. etc. etc. F*ck em.
U.S. can and will make treaties with the likes of Britain and Australia and no doubt we can have many joint manuvers with our allies but we need to start having treaties only with like minded nations. Nations that value western civilization. F*ck the rest.

Patreus - Nope
Obama - We got some info on you.

That may be the most logical answer for this, actually. Of course, that presumes that he'll testify to Congress, which remains to be seen.

That calls into question your character and makes you a shit heel, though he apparently is, but why announce that.
better to say its for health reasons unless you were threatened with being outed by someone.
Is his wife filing for divorce?
Did the chippy say she was going to tell all?
Stay tuned for these and other announcements that should have been revealed before Tuesday.
Next Up: Obama administration made secret deal with Iran to partition Tel Aviv last March. Says he needed the space after the election to announce.

I don't think that comes in to it. He had clearance when he learned of it. Anything highly classified enough, he couldn't have talked about anyway (I think).
If anything, it should make it easier, since the President can't pull out his favorite card (after the race card): Executive Privilege.

But, you think he had an affair as soon as he got to Washington, basically, and then had the honor to not ruin the election of the retard destroyer of America who had just committed what can only be considered an act of treason in Libya and the cover-up?
And then he announces his affair in his friggin letter of resignation?
I don't think so. I don't think even close to "so".
-------
I don't really think much about this at all. I don't buy into every possible conspiracy theory. I'm sure this was all planned or maybe announced and that Obama sat on it or asked Petraeus to sit on it until after the election. I have no problem with that.
I have no clue what his involvement was with Benghazi. I don't think any of us do. That is the reason to call him in to testify. I don't see how his resignation affects this at all.
And I have no clue when he had his affair. I don't care. I don't know if he is honorable or not. Sure having an affair is not honorable, but great and honorable men throughout history have had affairs.
Maybe it all is too weird, too much of a coincidence. Call him in front of Congress and find out.

1. The simple one. He's generally an honorable man but strayed from his marriage. He couldn't take the deception any longer, or his wife found out, and he chose to honorably resign. He didn't want to do it before the election out of deference to his boss, so he waited until now. And he specified the reason for his resignation so people would not wrongly assume that he was resigning in protest.
2. The juicy one. His "affair" was with a prostitute, and his hand has been forced because it's about to become public.
3. The conspiratorial one. The administration has known of this for some time and has been using it as leverage to control him. He hoped to hang on if Romney won. When Obama got re-elected, he figured he was tired of the blackmail and decided to quit.
4. The REALLY conspiratorial one. He was pissed about the CIA being thrown under the bus about Benghazi, and told the administration that he intended to tell the truth next week at the hearings. The administration told him that they knew his little secret, and he told them to f off and quit.
I go with the simplest one.

Same way that the Sandy photo op turned election around and how the DailyKos/SEIU got it "right" while Romney's polling (and Michael Barone's, Rasmussen's and Karl Rove's) were all wrong. And how those pathetic crowds Obama drew at the end (even with Springsteen, Katy Perry and/or Jay-Z) compared to Romney's 10,000+ crowds (with more turned away) many of whom waited hours in the cold and rain to see him all meant nothing.
It's the NewSpeak,baby -- Obama defines the "truth."

No, it's not. But TFG likes to use "procedural" (or whatever they call it) privilege, where basically he's saying, "Look, this guy works for me, and I can have you calling him in to second-guess his every decision." Well, Pretraeus no longer works for him, thus that line of argumentation no longer exists.

They could do the same thing had he not resigned, which is approximately nothing. Not unless he got caught in a blatant, provable lie.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. If Obama wanted to continue trying to bury the Benghazi story (and he does), the last thing he'd want is for his CIA director to resign unexpectedly.

Some of you all may not know or are forgetting that adultery is punishable under the UCMJ. Yeah we'd lose have the force if the law was enforced all the time. Usually egregious cases get punished however. A four star general (five?) who is the head of the CIA is most certainly egregious, assuming it's true.
Four Star.
Yeah, adultry is usually something that you don't punish because it's a pain in the ass to prove. Better to go after them for other stuff like disobeying a lawful order plus "conduct unbecoming" if they're an officer or "behavior detrimental" if they're enlisted.

Exactly.
Look. If Patraeus was being successfully blackmailed, he wouldn't have resigned.
If he was being blackmailed to lie about Benghazi and was so appalled that he resigned, he would have put that in the resignation letter.
I guess we'll know for sure if and when he testifies.

the KGB used "honey pots" or agents to "trap" or compromise

communists use this method as well.This explains why he covered for Obama. Dealing with sneaky bastards has given me this outlook.

It makes perfect sense if you take his letter at face value. He obviously was engaged in the affair before the election. Some time before it, he realized he had utterly fucked up and felt the need to resign. He couldn't do it before the election because he didn't want to be a major, major distraction during the election. But he couldn't wait much longer after the election because his secret might get discovered and he wanted to be the one to reveal it.

All I can say is....
I have never seen Catherine Herridge like she was today.
She did everything but come out and say..."No no, this is not about an affair!"
She kept bringing up a 'Benghazi timeline' that had gotten the White House in a tizzy.
Catherine Herridge is usually cool as a cucumber.

I don't care if people are Eagle Scouts in their private life. I just want people who get the job done reliably, quickly, competently, on time and on budget.
I've seen some dissolute louches in the workplace whose positions were nevertheless secure. Why did their bosses keep them on? They delivered. And they led their own lives on their own time without bringing any of it to the office.
What was the comment Lincoln made about Grant when told that Grant was a drunk? Something about finding out what the General preferred and sending him a case of it.
If Petraeus's side squeeze was someone inside the Agency, that's different.

That's my point. In his position, it is ALWAYS a security no no. The point is not that you're having an affair with a spy. It's that you are doing something that you want to remain secret very, very badly. If he didn't care if his wife found out about it, he'd divorce her ass and pound away on his mistress.
When people want very badly for their secret to remain secret, they will go to great lengths to appease anyone who knows their secret. That's what makes them a security risk.

Obama wanted to be rid of Petraeus for obvious reasons--he is the only hold over.
Or it could be as simple as-- he really is resigning over an affair.
If it was over Benghazi, it wouldn't make any sense to have him resign unexpectedly.

That seems implausible.
Firing Petraeus doesn't ensure his silence. . .in fact exposing the secret gives him no reason to cooperate.
KEEPING him place (with the threat of exposure blackmail if he doesn't play ball) seems like the plan if you want him to cooperate.
If this were simply Petraeus resigning over guilt, or for fear of potential blackmail, he wouldn't have wanted to. . nor had to. . specifically admit to an affair. He could have cited vague "personal reasons". The fact that he specified that he was resigning over a sexual affair has meaning here.

*checks wiki*
Petraeus retired from the U.S. Army on 31 August 2011. His retirement ceremony was held at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall.[158] During this ceremony, he was awarded the Army Distinguished Service Medal by Deputy Secretary of Defense William J. Lynn.[159] During the ceremony, Lynn in his remarks noted that, General Petraeus has played an important role as both a combat leader and strategist in the post-9/11 world. Lynn also cited General Petraeus' efforts in current counter insurgency strategy.[160] Admiral Michael Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in his remarks compared General Petraeus to Ulysses S. Grant, John J. Pershing, George Marshall and Dwight D. Eisenhower as one of the great battle captains of American history

Posted by: angler at November 09, 2012 12:10 PM (SwjAj)
You can't have the head of the CIA. . .who literally is in charge of all our nations secrets. . .be in a position where he is subject to blackmail. That's either by the person he was having the affair with, or anyone else who knew about it. Its a major potential security breach.
As mentioned WAY up thread, as one example, it used to be SOP for Soviet spies to blackmail sensitive people by luring them into sexual affairs, then threatening to expose them. In fact the Soviets literally recruited and trained special young female operatives for this specific task.
What I question here, is that Petraeus specifically cited a sexual affair as the reason for his resignation. If he were purely resigning for security reasons, he wouldn't need to heap the extra added embarrassment of specifying exactly why. He could cite 'personal reasons' or 'family concerns' or such.
The fact that he specifically mentioned an affair means that HE wants it out there on the record. One plausible reason why he might is to prevent someone ELSE from putting it out there to control the narrative and discredit him.

Not likely. If that were the case, imagine how pissed off Patraeus would have been. Now imagine how he would have announced his resignation. He would have said "I'm resigning for two reasons: because I made a regrettable mistake of having an affair; and because the administration found out about it and threatened to blackmail me over it. I look forward to appearing at the Sen. Intelligence Committee hearing next week. See you all then."

He's admitting it because its preferable to someone else doing so.
He wouldn't have admitted it if the secret weren't already out of the bag.

Let's think out of the box, just for giggles. If I were Petraeus and I wanted out to tell my side of the story, I might set this whole thing up to make it look like what's being reported. It's what people in the CIA do.

The House can hold closed door hearings, can't it? I thought the House Intelligence Committee did?

He said he had shown ‘extremely poor judgment’ by cheating on his wife Holly, who he had been married to for 37 years.
Lose you clearance, lose the ability to discuss classified info in a hearing, I'd think.

The minority in the Senate may not have subpoena power (I don't honestly know), but they can certainly call witnesses who voluntarily appear at their request.

So he had an affair and had to resign before TESTIFYING ON BENGHAZI NEXT WEEK.
- Hillary is about to hit the door
- Docs only available to the senators when they are out of town...
- Another State Dep official transferred
- Africon general retiring
- Navy admiral....

My BS meter is off the scale.
Maybe, MAYBE he is having an affair but his choice of resigning and it's timing is suspect.
I believe this choice was given to him as the least negative impact for him and the country.
This just smells like a week old fish laying in the sun.

Obama's stance on giving him the tax increase above $250k as a sign of good faith shows he is on a scorched earth policy...

Lisa, speaking only for myself, it's not that I don't care. I am scared shitless for my country about what the SCOAMF is going to do in the next four years. Humor is as much a release from the pain as much as it is a defense mechanism against the sheer insanity that I am sure this episode will prove to be a prelude to.

Thread dead... but.... /tinfoil hat on...
Patreus is head of the CIA, with fingers in a LOT of stuff.... Like.. Voter fraud? Illegal campaign contributions? And Benghazi.... and they were using his Affair to blackmail him into shutting up....
Now... the affair is out... blackmail done.... will be interesting to see what he suddenly has to say about a number of subjects...

I don't know the truth of this affair and resignation but there is too much here, including the fact that MSNBC broke the story, not to be suspicious in light of Benghazi.

The D/CIA's wife works for CFPA, which was originally set up by Senator (elect) Warren. Not his mistress. I don't have time to go through hundreds of comments to see if anyone else set this straight.
His mistress is an author, probably not employed by anyone, authors are usually self-employed.

And Andrea Mitchell is the wife of the previous head of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan, and probably shouldn't be a news reporter because she can't possibly be objective about financial news or the economy. Which is inevitably the core of political news.
